• Hence, when light is coupled to an optical fiber for
the purpose of communication, attenuation in the
optical fiber means a power loss for reasons other
than failure to attain total internal reflection initially.
– Microbending Loss
• Bending can change not only the optical properties but also the
mechanical characteristics of optical fiber.
• For cylindrical coordinate system {r,ϕ,z}, z-axis lying along the axis of the
waveguide.
• Where
• And k is the free space propagation constant = 2π/λ.
• The solution of the above wave equation results the guided modes.
• Eq.3 can be solved by separation of variables method.
• With separation of variables method eq.3
becomes well-known differential equation
for Bessel functions as shown in (eq.4)
• Eq.4 must have been solved for regions inside and outside core, the
solution for guided modes must remain finite as r0, and outside the
solution must decay to zero as r∞.
• Where u= propagation parameter and w =decay parameter
• The permissible range of β for bounded solution is therefore
• In general
– Each LP0m mode is derived from an HE1m mode.
– Each LP1m mode comes from TE0m, TM0m and HE2m modes.
– Each LPvm mode (v >= 2) is from an HEv+1,m and an EHv-1,m mode.
